I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I'm glad you were able to solve it. I know I'd have still been stuck counting fields.

I'm all about strict conformance so I guess there will be some black frames introduced to make it all fit right. It will be the same situation with the Japanese P&S releases since they have seemingly replaced the binocular shots with 29.97 fps binocular overlays onto the 24fps film footage for whatever reason.

I will definitely enjoy being able to finally watch the time-compressed version without stuttering or interlacing though that's for sure. Thanks again for your time and effort! I'll try to get it all put together and on usenet asap!
